Interstate 35 doesn’t do well in Dallas, either. It’s the fifth most congested chunk of highway in the state. Specifically, we’re talking about Stemmons Freeway -- from State Highway 183 in Irving to Interstate 30 in downtown Dallas.

Elsewhere in Dallas County, LBJ Freeway is bad news. It’s No. 7 on the list -- specifically from Interstate 35 to Central Expressway.

The sixth worst congested highway in Texas is in Tarrant County – it’s Interstate 35W from U.S. 287 in downtown Fort Worth up to 28th Street.

No. 9 is also in Tarrant County – and also a chunk of Interstate 35W.

For the record, nine of the 25 most congested roads are in Dallas County, while two are in Tarrant.

How about the suburbs?

Well, it’s a bit better to the north of Dallas/Fort Worth.

Denton County takes the No. 27 spot – with, you guessed it, Interstate 35 – from State Highway 121 down to LBJ Freeway back in Dallas County.

Collin County makes an appearance at No. 44 – that’s U.S. Highway 75 from U.S. 380 to the Sam Rayburn Tollway.

More than 11,000 residents in Arlington have signed a petition to remove the city's red light cameras. The City Council voted Tuesday to put the issue on the May ballot.

Four decades ago, Austin, Texas, had a population of 250,000 and a reputation as a laid-back oasis of liberal politics and live music. Today, the Austin metro area is home to 1.8 million people and has some of the nation's worst traffic congestion.

For years, the city has done little to address the growing problem. But most in the Texas capital now agree something has to change if Austin is to save what's left of its quirky character.
